StumbleIt was Brown, not Binion who founded the Horseshoe
Thursday, April 18, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
That was before Joe W. Brown's Racetrack or Joe W. Brown's oil well where Joe W. Brown struck water -- located on Paradise Road -- where Hortenzia got flooded out; before the Alpine Village.
Oh and by the way, before there was a Golden Nugget on (1943) Fremont Street there was a gambling strip -- the USS Rex -- formerly moored three miles from Baja, Calif.
